❀ SISTER, SISTER (REWRITE) | TOKYO REVENGERS 🤍 sano family 💿  female reader, second pov (you/your), angst and fluff, hurt / comfort, family, platonic relationship, implied soulmates, tw: canonical character death, au - canon divergence, timeline: pre-canon (headcanon), timeline: pre-moebius (imagine), headcanon + imagine 📅 july 21, 2021 🎙️ i accidentally deleted this. i had to rewrite… if someone has the original copy, please i beg of you, SEND it to me. i don’t really care if you plagiarized it or something, just give me the copy i beg. I had a breakdown because of this. 🔗 masterlist ,, parts: 01, 02, 03, 04, 05

Sano Shinichiro’s best friend isn’t just his platonic soulmate, they’re also his younger sibling’s older sister.

☆ Sano Shinichiro has a lot of tight-knit relationships (4lifers, some may say), but there is one that everyone unanimously agreed was his closest one.

☆ It was a wonder to some how the two of you become such close companions. To some, after seeing Sano Shinichiro with you, they easily understood.

☆ Meeting in school as his underclassman, it didn’t take long for you to get roped into his gang’s bullshit. It wasn’t that you were an official member but you were definitely someone. Someone to Sano Shinichiro. Someone.

☆ Sano Shinichiro is batshit crazy, especially during his younger years. It just so happened that you were crazy as well.

☆ In high school, you guys were definitely uncontrollable. Whatever Shinichiro did, you tagged along.

☆ As you grew older, the both of you were definitely calmer, outgrowing that childish recklessness the both of you had always shared.

☆ It was love. Not romantically, but it was love. The kind of love that Shinichiro was sure that in some other universe, the two of you were together as well.

☆ When someone tried insinuating that the two of you could start dating each other, the response was instant.

“With this asshole?” “With this bitch?”

☆ Shinichiro wonders if the reason why he’s always getting rejected by girls is because you’re always with him. You scoffed.

“Trust me, it’s not me. They just don’t like you.” “I have a great personality!” “Well your face isn’t that great.”

☆ Once Shin introduced you to his family, it was all over.

☆ Mikey had no reaction to your presence in the house at the start, blatantly ignoring you, giving you dead-eyes. You coddled on him, to his chagrin.

☆ Emma, on the other hand, adored you. To the point that Shinichiro and Manjiro wondered if this was really their sister.

☆ You managed to bribe Mikey with sweets. Not that you needed to because when he saw you picking on Shinichiro, he loved you already.

☆ As much as they want you to be a part of the family officially, they begged you not to marry their brother.

“Honestly, you can do better, Y/n-nee.” “Yeah. Shinichiro isn’t worth it.” “I’m right here?!” “We know.”

☆ Shinichiro thinks that they love you more than they love him. He doesn’t quite mind.

☆ Keisuke is Manjiro’s… friend, if you can even call him that. Mikey beats him up for fun. (In his defense, Baji asks for it.)

☆ It was only when you saw Manjiro literally kick a guy twice his size on the face, knocking them out cold, did you realize that this kid could literally kill you.

“Is Manjiro safe?” “Why are you saying that as if he’s some dog?”

☆ You love the kid, either way.

☆ You’d defend him from whatever happens. But if it’s a fight, you’re dropping out. Fuck no. Mikey can fight for himself. (If anything, you’re the one getting beat up.)

“Y/n-nee, Shinichiro hit me!” “Shin, don’t hit him! That was too hard.” “Why are you taking his side?!” “He brought home snacks for me and you’ve been pissing me off lately.”

☆ It does weird you out how he laughs at horror movies when the four of you watch at home, though. Everyone is screaming. You don’t know if he’s laughing at the gory scene on the television or at everyone’s reaction.

☆ Movie nights with the Sano family start during the afternoon because everyone wants a chance to pick a movie. 

☆ Sometimes, you get suspicious of Shinichiro disappearing randomly. He doesn’t answer your calls, nor his siblings’. When he comes back and you ask him to explain, he just grins at you and ruffles your hair. Asshole.

“It’s a secret.”

☆ MALL DATES WITH THE SANO FAMILY !!!

☆ It was supposed to be shopping with Emma but three people were tagging along, acting as if it was a coincidence, because they wanted attention from you as well.

☆ It would be a bloodbath. Emma wants to go shopping, Shinichiro wants to go to the arcade, Mikey wants to go home, Keisuke wants to go to a pet shop. 

☆ You want to go to the movies. That’s impossible because you’d never get to pick the movie you want to watch.

☆ When you get home, everyone is knocked out tired. After a whole day of complaining and fighting, you didn’t expect anything else. (You were also half-dead on the couch after all.)

☆ You stay over so much at Sano's house that you’re basically a member of that household. Their grandfather doesn’t quite mind.

☆ Their grandfather appreciates your presence in the house. It seems as if it has been livelier with you around. He doesn’t mind the noise.

☆ He  doesn’t quite understand how you can stand his grandchildren. For one, his eldest, Sano Shinichiro is running around, creating a gang and picking fights and getting his ass handed to him. Manjiro started calling himself some name, is addicted to fights, and refuses to learn anything else because apparently he’s going to take over Tokyo or something. Emma is… Well, that child seems to hate everyone. Then, there’s also Mikey’s friend, Keisuke. He doesn’t even have to say anything about that kid.

☆ He finally understood when he saw you laughing as you watched Keisuke and Manjiro get chased by wild dogs.

“She’s just as insane as them.”

☆ He says all of that but he loves all four of his grandchildren.

☆ Sometimes, it felt like you lived in that house more than your own. Shinichiro’s room is yours. (He did not agree to this. You sleep on his bed anyway.)

☆ Emma loves playing with your hair and styling it. She complains that her brothers’ hairs are too short. (That’s part of the reason why Mikey grew his out.)

☆ She also learned cooking from you. Honestly, you don’t know how they survived this long. The only thing Shinichiro can cook is curry and it’s shit.

“Shinichiro’s cooking sucks.” “You brat! Try starving!” “Instead of eating your food? Gladly.”

☆ Shinichiro annoys you to teach him how to cook better as well. Emma told him to get out of her kitchen.

☆ Mikey has this habit of judging people. He will blackmail you even before he learns the word blackmail. Be careful.

☆ Emma also has a bit of judging people, specifically her brothers. More specifically, Shinichiro’s sense of style and Manjiro’s inability to eat anything that isn’t sweet. She says that’s why he’s so stupid, his brain is filled with sugar.

☆ You can tell that the kids love each other so much though. You just hope that they can show that… properly.

☆ Shinichiro loves taking videos of everything, he uses this camcorder that was gifted to him years ago, on his 7th birthday. He has a shelf of tapes in his room. Later down the row, your videos were in the Sano Family Collection.

☆ It’s always noisy at that house. But it’s expected as it is home to five people.

☆ It only became silent when Shinichiro died.

☆ Everything was different after Shinichiro died. 

☆ On the night he died, that was the one night you chose to laugh at him when he asked if you wanted to stay at the shop with him to help fix up Mikey’s birthday gift for tomorrow.

“Hey, Y/n! You better be there for Mikey’s birthday tomorrow.” “How could I not go to my favorite Sano’s birthday?” “I thought that I was your favorite Sano- Don’t laugh!” “Goodnight, Shin.”

☆ Manjiro called you an hour later; that was your last conversation with Shinichiro.

☆ Of course, it hurt you. How could it not? Almost ten years of your life was spent with him, from high school until adulthood. He was family. He was someone. He was Shinichiro.

☆ Sometimes, it felt like a part of you died with him that night.

☆ But you had to be strong. Mikey and Emma were lost, confused, and they were looking at you. How could you show them that you didn’t feel like yourself anymore?

☆ You put on a smile, hardened yourself, and took care of them. They were your kids as much as they were Shinichiro’s.

☆ You spend the nights crying.

☆ Emma refused to leave your side. She cried when you even tried stepping out of the house’s door.

☆ Mikey never left his room the days that followed Shinichiro’s death. He barely ate, the meals you left outside his door barely eaten. You had to beg him to go out of his room on the day of the funeral. He almost didn’t come.

“Mikey, please. Please. Go see your brother before he has to go. Please, Manjiro.”

☆ You cried outside his door that morning. Begging him.

☆ He came out, eyes red, lips pursed.

☆ The funeral was attended by family, friends, members, people whose lives were changed because of Shinichiro. You find that in funerals, you can see how good of a person the deceased is from the people that visit.

☆ You had no tears left to cry during the funeral, even when people came to pat your shoulder and tell you that he was a good person. You knew that. Shinichiro is a good person. They didn’t have to tell you.

☆ You caught a glance of a boy with light hair standing at the very back. You didn’t recognize him but something was pulling you to him. He left before you could approach him.

☆ The first night after Shinichiro was laid down on his final resting place, you found yourself on the couch in the living room.

☆ That night was the hardest you ever cried for Sano Shinichiro.

☆ The silence was unbearable. 

☆ It took so long to finally stop shedding tears over the dead. When you realized that you stopped crying for him, it made you break down even more.

☆ You couldn’t understand how Mikey and Emma manage to go about their day as if nothing was wrong. How they declined therapy, or seeing someone. 

☆ You never knew that it was because you were right there. They could act as if nothing was wrong because you were still there.

☆ Sometimes, you just want to run away and never look back. To forget about Shinichiro, about Mikey, Emma, their whole bloodline. It was heavy. It was so heavy. But you didn’t.

☆ That was love.

☆ But it was Mikey and Emma who insisted that you take the job offer overseas.

“We’ll be fine here, Y/n-nee.” “Yeah, we’re not babies. We can take care of ourselves just fine.” “Well, I can. Mikey can’t.” “Hey!”

☆ Your eyes were teary when you packed your bags and left, promising them that it would only be for a while, that you’d come back soon.

“They’re at their little meeting.”

You feel the breeze caress your skin, like an old friend greeting you home. Shibuya never changed in the years that you were gone. From their grandfather’s words, it seemed like the Sano siblings didn’t change as well. Seriously, why is the meeting still at night?

You just came back to Japan and the very first place that you went was, of course, home. The Sano Household. Only to find out that the two kids that you were planning to surprise weren't even there.

Their grandfather had welcomed you warmly like you were his own grandchild, telling you that as usual, they were out having a little meeting. You thanked him, leaving your bags, before finding yourself in the cold once more.

You were unofficially officially tasked to drag them home.

Mikey you can understand, but Emma? Why in the world is she hanging out with her brother? In her brother’s meeting? In her brother’s gang meeting? You wondered if starting or being in gangs was in the bloodline. It’s as if the Sano Siblings were destined to trouble, as if they’d get sick if they aren’t fighting something.

You adjust the plastic bag on your wrist. You bought some ingredients for dorayaki, planning on spending the night to make some with the siblings because you know that Manjiro wouldn’t be able to wait until tomorrow.

God, I love these kids too much.

The silence of the night was peaceful.

The silence of the night was broken by bellowing. 

“Who in the world is screaming in the dead of the night?”

You sighed, starting your trek up the steps of Musashi shrine. It wasn’t until midway did you finally start to recognize that voice. “Manjiro?” What the fuck.

Hurrying to the top, the shrine was crowded by rows of black uniforms, young teens in lines looking up at the shrine where the familiar strands of blond stood. You blink.

For a second, you saw Black Dragon. 

For a second, you saw Sano Shinichiro.

You couldn’t help the gasp that left your lips, unheard in the midst of one Sano Manjiro’s yelling. Last you heard, there were barely 10 guys in the Tokyo Manji Gang. To think that that snotty brat who refused to eat anything that isn’t sweet is leading such a huge group, is succeeding in his once little dream.

Manjiro looked like Shinichiro, you realize, standing at the very back.

You shook yourself out of your stupor. No. You refuse to let yourself walk backwards, to let yourself see things that aren’t there, to remember moments long past.

Emma is standing off to the side with a cute girl beside her. At least she didn’t seem to be a part of the gang, wearing civilian clothes that you hoped was keeping her warm. You don’t want her getting sick. You march forward, ignoring the looks sent your way by the members as they try to stop you.

Without a pause, you start matching Manjiro’s screaming just as Emma starts, “Y/n-nee!-”

“Shut the hell up, Sano Manjiro!”

The silence of the night returns.

Wide obsidian eyes stare into your as you stand at the very front, at the bottom of the stairs where Mikey stood. “It is eleven in the fucking evening. Everyone is asleep. None of your members are talking. So tell me, why the fuck are you screaming?!”

There were murmurs behind you. He doesn’t seem to mind, a grin splitting his face, the cold mask he was wearing breaking as he jumps down, skipping steps. “Y/n-nee!”

“We’re going home!”

You step to the side, letting him land on the space where you once were, knowing that you were going to get tackled if you hadn’t dodge. Mikey is unnerved, simply turning around and jumping on you, arm hitting your throat.

Draken looked exasperated, knowing that the President wasn’t going to go back to whatever he was saying and it was up to him to adjourn for the night.

“You’re back!” He looks at the plastic bag. “ARE THOSE FOR DORAYAKI?!”

“Nuh-uh! Go back up there and finish your little club meeting.”

“But Ken-chin-”

“No!”

Mikey pouts as he gets pushed off of you. Ken gives you a thankful look as if you were an angel sent by the heavens to rein their spontaneous boss back. “Let’s go, Emma,” you call to the girl already hurrying over.

“Y/n-”

“No.”

You turn your back to Mikey, grabbing Emma’s hand as she looks at you with wide eyes, a growing smile on her lips. Seriously, screaming at 11 in the evening at a shrine where no one is talking? You worry for Mikey sometimes. 

“Keisuke, you’re invited as well,” you tell the boy in passing, glancing at the blond beside him. “Bring your pretty friend over as well.”

“Y/n-nee, when did you come back?”

You smile at her. “Just now.”

“And you headed straight here?”

Technically, no. You headed home. “Where else would I go if not to you and Mikey?”

It's just that your home is the Sano Family.

“I told you to stay away and look what you did.” Draken scolded you as he kneeled down beside you, ripping off a piece of his shirt and tying it around your bleeding wound.

He had warned you to stay away from a gang fight happening between Toman and a rival gang- but you didn’t listen for whatever reason. Draken was fuming, although trying to keep his anger down because you were hurt. Does no one listen to his warnings anymore?

“You’re just like Mikey ya know.”

You let out a puff of frustration at his retort, "I know you're strong and can handle these kinds of things, but it hurts me to see you get banged and bruised up sometimes... I'm strong too... I can fight (just enough). Let me protect you as well..."

Draken sighed softly at your words, although still not letting his guard down.

“I know, I know- I appreciate that you care so much about me…”“I know you can fight but please, just… don’t do anything reckless okay? I don’t want to see you get hurt like this again.” Draken’s tone was a bit softer now as he took his time tying up the bandage on your wound.

Although he tries to sound like everything is okay, and you should worry, however you knew what goes down in Toman. "This won't be the last time... because you're also reckless. Especially when your with Mikey."

Draken felt his cheeks heat up a bit, although quickly cooling himself off. He was blushing because you were right- he was indeed reckless as well, especially when he hangs around Mikey. He couldn’t deny it.

“Yes, I know. Mikey’s a bad influence on me so… what do you expect?”

You raised a brow as you disagree what he said, Mhm... I don't think Mikey is a bad influence... You both are level headed and do things for the good of Toman... I guess it's the other gangs who challenge you guys, and it gets into your egos, but then again I do understand it happens to grow Toman... Sometimes it doesn't have to be that way, the smaller the better. Strong Toman members who are loyal, strong, and faithful."

Draken was surprised by your words. Mikey was a terrible influence on him yet you thought otherwise. Draken wasn’t going to argue with you or try to change your opinion because he knew Mikey was the main influence on who he had become over all these years.

“Hm… you’re right in that. A smaller yet strong group is better than a larger but weaker one… thank you for reminding me of that.” Draken smiled softly at you, happy that you reminded him what was truly important after all these years spent protecting Toman.

You softly smiled, "ah your welcome~ I've seen you both grow and I'm always here for anything~"

Draken spoke kindly before he chuckled, "You're such a good friend, y'know that?" He looked back down at your wound to make sure the bandage was tied tightly. He stood up and took a seat next to you, patting you on the head before he said anything else. "Now, do you think we can both go home for now? You should rest at least."

Spacing out as if you been sucked into a void as you watch him finish up you bandage. Thinking of giving him a kiss on the cheek to thank him for bandaging your wound, however Draken calling you a "friend", was reminder that was all you'll ever be. You silently muttered to yourself "Ah right... friend..." Snapping back to reality a few seconds before he mentioned heading home, you both head off.

Draken watched as your eyes lingered on him for longer than usual. He thought nothing of it, but a small part of him wondered why your attention was on him. He thought he heard something in your tone, but that may have just been him overthinking things once again and being overly cautious. Nonetheless, he stood up and offered you his hand. “Then let’s go home to rest.”

you limped on the way home as draken walked beside you. Draken looked over at your legs, noticing your limping for the first time. He looked concerned, letting go of your hand and going in front of you a little to match you speed. "Do you need help walking?" He asked. The stubborn person you are you denied his help, continuing to limp even though it hurts.

Draken knowing how of hassle you can be at times, his tone became firm which caused him to stop walking. "No, clearly you're not fine. Listen to me, I'm just gonna carrying you back home. No discussion." He gets in front and lowers himself so I can be carried on his back. With no arguments you hovered over yourself onto his back, "Okay... don't you dare fall off though."

Draken chuckled before lifting you up and carrying you. He walked at a steady pace, slowing down and making sure not to run since he didn’t want you to get hurt in any way. Draken had a warm look on his face as he made his way back with you in his arms.

Wrapping your arms comfortably around his neck as he carried you. You nuzzled a little and blush at his kind gesture, "I doubt I'll fall... Your always there to catch me~"

Draken’s blush grew more and more apparent, knowing fully well how you had just nuzzled into him. It made him happy that you felt safe and comfortable around him, but it also made his cheeks burn even more. Draken had only one goal in mind, which was to get you home safely so that you can rest and get better.

Shifting your head to stare the the night sky as you are both under the moonlight, breathing in the crips cool air, "ahh~ the night is peaceful~" Draken nodded in agreement, loving how peaceful the atmosphere became once it got later in the night. The full moon illuminated the sky and the light breeze felt refreshing against his skin. Draken took in the sights surrounding them and enjoyed the tranquility in its pure form, which would be hard to find during the day.

Moving me head towards the side view of his face and stared a little, admiring the nice soft moment, "Draken-kun?~"

Draken replied, "Yes?" looking over at you as you shifted your head up towards his face. He could almost swear that there was something on your mind, since your eyes were slightly fixated on his own. His blush would grow even more if possible now that you got closer to him. Draken’s words were still soft and kind, the same way they have always been to you.

For some reason you had the feeling in wanting to ask if he was interested in anyone, but you didn't want to ruin the moment, then having to deal with the awkward silence you back down. "Never mind..." You smiled, playing it cool as you tried to enjoy the rest of the night walked back home, placing you head nuzzling against his neck.

Draken’s heart was racing, not knowing if he should admit that he liked you or not. As you nuzzled your head against his neck, he got more and more flustered by the second. Despite everything, Draken couldn’t bring himself to say what’s on his mind. So, even though he wanted to admit his feelings for you, he stayed silent.

Arriving home and drops you off, "thank you for taking me home~ please get home safe, yeah?" Draken placed you down on the ground inside your home, smiling softly as his eyes met yours. Even with the moonlight illuminating everything, Draken was able to see your face clearly which made his heart ache. He wanted to say so much to you at that very moment, but Draken couldn’t bring himself to do any of it.

"Yeah, anytime~ I'll get home safely... You should rest, okay? See you later..."

Draken smiled and waved goodbye to you before he stepped out and made his way back home. He was trying to process what had just happened as he made his way back, his heart beating rapidly as he let his thoughts consume him by themselves.

Your hands trembled as you stared at the pregnancy test, two pink lines were shown meaning you were pregnant.

“I’m…pregnant..” You mumbled in disbelief as your vision began to cloud from the tears that formed in your eyes.

You dug deep into your memory hoping you could at least figure out who the last person you were with till it dawned on you.

Mikey.

You remember drinking with him and after that everything was just fuzzy and choppy.

“How am I going to tell him?” You rested your head in your hands after placing the test to the side. It took you a while, but you called Mikey saying you had something to tell him, something very important.

You didn’t tell him what it was leaving him more curious till you both met up. “So, what is it?” Mikey asked as he yawned, a tear bead appearing in the corner of his eye.

“I’m…pregnant…” You whispered the last part making Mikey tilt his head a bit. “You’re what?” “I’m pregnant.” You said louder this time surprise Mikey. “Ooo congratulations. Who’s the father?”

Mikey clapped his hands a faint smile appearing on his lips. You gripped the sleeve of your jacket as a faint whimper left your mouth, you were upset. “You alright?” Mikey asked, his smile disappearing.

“You’re..you’re the father.” Mikey’s eyes widened as he quickly stood up from his seat. “No way that’s mine... I didn’t even have sex with you..” Mikey said as he furrowed his brows making you look down at your lap.

“You were the first and only person I’ve been with, Mikey. We did it after we went drinking.”

“Bullshit. I don’t even remember what happened after that.” Mikey looked down at you, you were shaking and on the verge of crying, your scent was a mix of feelings.

He let out a sigh as he brushed some of his hair away from his face.

“I don’t think it’s mine, but I’ll still be there for you till you give birth to that pup. When I prove it’s not mine then..there isn’t much I can do after to help me.” Mikey said as he rubbed the back of his neck.

“Thank you..” You sniffled and brushed away any stray tears. Months went by and Mikey did as he said, he made sure you were well taken care of and safe till you were in the 1st month of your third trimester.

“Mikey..could you get the stole for me please?” You asked the man who nodded and went to the living room to retrieve the item.

When he came back, you were holding onto the counter, panting in pain. Underneath you was a puddle of water that had damped your slippers and the floor. Mikey dropped the stole as he began panicking internally.

“Is it..” You nodded your head, not even bothering to talk. Mikey quickly got the car keys and gently rushed you out the door and to the car. “The baby wasn’t supposed to be here for another two months, fuck..” Mikey grumbled as he left the drive-through and began speeding to the hospital.

“I’m..sorry..” You said in between gasps, tears began streaming down your face. Mikey’s face softened as he took your hand in his. “It’s not your fault, don’t worry.” He said as he released a more calming and pleasant scent to help with your pain and calm you down.

When the both of you arrived at the hospital you were rushed to the emergency room, Mikey of course had to wait in the waiting room. His leg bounced as he waited for one of the doctors to come out, it felt like you were in there forever.

Time was ticking by slowly, seconds felt like minutes, and minutes felt like hours. When one of the doctors came out Mikey quickly got up from his seat. “How is he and the baby? Are they alright?” Mikey asked, worry present on his. The doctor smiled and nodded her head.

“The mother and baby are both healthy and are doing just fine. The baby came earlier than expected so we’ll have to keep her in an incubator till she grows a bit more.

“Can…Can I see them?” The doctor nodded her head and Mikey quickly followed her. His heart jumped around in his chest as he grew closer and closer to the doors.

When he was inside you were laid down on a bed holding a baby in a pink blanket, feeding her. You looked exhausted but happy, happy you got to meet your baby.

Mikey hesitantly went over to you getting your attention. He had gotten a good look at the baby and she looked just like him. “I told you she was yours..” You giggled making the baby coo before she yawned.

“She’s so tiny..” Mikey whispered as he moved his finger to the baby’s hand which she instantly grabbed onto. His eyes glossed over with tears as Mikey stared at his child.

“Does that mean you’ll stay?” “Of course...I now have a family of my own..” Mikey sniffled as he rubbed his teary eyes. You lightly laughed as he gave a small kiss on your baby’s head.

Hi Mati! I have a request :)

Could you do a tokyo rev x reader(any of the guys is fine) related to ballet? My hc is that out of all the guys mikey or rindou can do ballet (just a random one since I think those 2 are pretty flexible) Maybe some fluff with them fooling around in the studio with y/n or angst related to the dark side of ballet (eating disorders, body image issues, injuries etc)

Thanks!

TR Boys who ballet

Characters: Manjiro Sano, Haitani Rindou, Imaushi Wakasa, Inui Seishu

Genre/Tags: Fluff, A bit angsty on Rindou, Established relationship, Kinda no-gangs AU

Warnings: There might be some typos since I wrote this when I was sleepy, implied or referenced bullying on Rindou's part, (let me know if I missed something!)

A/N: I didn't actually expect to receive a request 😭 what I had in mind was something like headcanons but ig this is fine too.

Also, dear anon, I hope you don't mind. Since I'm not really that knowledgeable with ballet, I kind of just went over the general things or from what I know. I can't write or come up with something angsty for your suggestion like the body image one ajdjfjsksbc I really do hope you don't mind 🥹 and I hope you enjoy reading too!

Sano Manjiro / Mikey

He’s absolutely giving me vibes that he enrolled to a ballet class just for shits and giggles back when he was young, because you and Keisuke would tease him about being so good at the dojo that maybe he should start looking for other things to do.

But then Mikey actually took interest in it. And he actually slayed it.

You, Keisuke and Haruchiyo, along with the Sano family would watch him when he’s got recitals or performances. (Baji would cheer as if he’s watching a fight or something).

When you eventually got into a relationship with Mikey. Oh lawd. He would use his flexibility to his advantage.

You know that one meme where the person would kabedon someone but with their legs. IT’S MIKEY 😭

Mans legit would trap you in a corner with his perfect split, you don’t even know if you’d die of embarrassment or feel butterflies from it.

But when it’s serious time, he’d actually reserve a dance room for at least a few hours. He’d invite you to watch him practice, or give you a private performance that actually makes you smile at him with pride.

If you’re both in the mood for it, he’d even teach you a thing or two. Inviting you to stretch with him and then he’d be all up your personal space trying to teach you.

When you get some basics down, he’d lead you to dance with him, guiding you and then whispering to be careful with your feet because he knows how much it would hurt especially if you’re not a ballet dancer.

If you are, then it just makes things easier. It’s dance after dance with him. It’s kind of like your thing with Mikey. There’s nothing more intimate for the two of you than dancing closely to each other. Feeling each other’s movements and soul to the sound playing on the speakers

Haitani Rindou

I actually think that Rin would be the kind to do both gymnastics and ballet. (Of course, he’d still be doing some martial arts.)

We already know how flexible he is. Back then his teachers would actually be surprised, thinking he’s a natural at what he does. (He is)

Among the Haitani brothers, Rin is actually much quieter, or rather, reserved.

He’s confident, of course, but definitely quiet about it.

And since he’s quiet about some things, it took you quite some time to figure out that something was bothering your boyfriend, Rindou.

You’d soon find out his insecurities about being a male ballet dancer. All of which stemmed from his classmates at school.

Rindou would of course have fought back, but he’d promised you then to not get into any trouble, because he knows how worried you will be for him, not knowing that the situation now has made you double your worries for him, along with some anger thrown at the guys who even dared of saying bad things to him.

Your priority however will always be Rin, so after finding out about his insecurities and the stigma that he was facing at school, time with him were either spent with you reassuring him, or validating his feelings, or giving your all to make him feel loved and appreciated.

Rindou would never find out, but you and Ran had plotted and tracked down the guys who’d called him names and even dared of speaking bad about him. They learned a thing or two about ballet too.

Rindou of course started to feel light about your constant reassurance, and he was even surprised when you took some classes with him. Now there’s more time spent together with him, and he’s very happy to teach you about ballet.

He'd even use that time to impress you more. But you're already impressed with him, and absolutely in love from the very start.

Imaushi Wakasa

Another flexible boy. (We’ve all seen how this man literally turns into a fidget spinner with his perfect splits and spinning kicks wigjsjdhsjgi)

Oh, he’s proud. He doesn’t flaunt, but you’ll see it in his eyes how proud he is to be a ballet dancer.

He’d take you shopping for shoes or tights when he needs to replace the worn-out ones.

This man will legit lecture you about the best kind of shoes to wear for ballet. If you have no idea about this kind of stuff, you just give your all to listen to him, because you might pick a thing or two when picking out a gift for him in the future.

When he’s being mocked for being a male ballerina, he won’t hesitate knocking the person down their high horse. If the person doesn’t stop, he might even kick them straight to the face (with grace) — if this happens, please stop him, because we don’t want him potentially going to jail.

Like Mikey and Rindou, Waka would teach you if you’re down to learning at least some basic. He absolutely loves being close to you, so even if you don’t want to learn, he doesn’t mind. He’d instead waltz with you, because again, he loves being close to you.

And on that note, when he has to practice, either for a performance or not, he’d ask you to help him with his stretching.

When he’s got shows, he reserves tickets for you and you don’t miss one of his performances. Of course, you love every second of it, just to watch him in his element. All grace and beauty, that pride wells in your heart whenever you see him on stage.

Inui Seishu

Another beauty and grace.

Please he’s so perfect. 😭 if he rocked and slayed those heels, he wears then he'd be slaying ballet as well. I just know it.

He doesn’t care about other’s opinion with regards to his choice of hobbies. In fact, he'd rub it in their face nonchalantly that he’d achieved more than they ever could.

You, alongside Koko, would also rub it in the haters faces that Inupi is so much more better than them. In the most derogatory way that had others looking down in shame because you guys are right.

Inupi, like Mikey, uses his skills to his advantage when it comes to you. Let’s not ignore the fact that Inupi can be very cheeky if he so pleases.

Those times definitely surface when it’s just you two.

When he’s practicing or just stretching and warming up, he’ll shamelessly look at you through the mirror while you’re on the other side of the room. He’ll give you “that” look that had you melting into a puddle, all the while he’d grin lazily while doing his splits.

If ever Inupi feels some kind of insecurity with himself, you’d quickly notice from how his dancing becomes different. It’s either stiff, or there’s a distant look on his face.

When this happens, you’d ask him to take a break from dancing, and just listen to him speak all about how he feels.

These slumps usually happen when he’s got a big performance ahead of him, so in times like these, you do nothing but be there for him, until he’s ready and he’s back to his old self. All grace and beauty and that hint of cheekiness he shows around you.

Our Day Off Together | Tokyo Revengers ~ the one when you wake up to see that your husband still remains in bed with you

➤ ft: timelapse!draken, mutō yasuhiro x housewife!fem reader

➤ content warning: fluff, suggestive a bit, tinge bit of angst, mentions of previous arguments, lovesick husbands, reader has kids (mutō’s), reader is pregnant (draken), draken’s part is an AU as well (no tomen gang)

●∘◦❀◦∘● ●∘◦❀◦∘● ●∘◦❀◦∘● ●∘◦❀◦∘●

Mutō Yasuhiro

For months he hasn’t been home, mentally that is. He’s been working non-stop with the Tomen Gang since a few opposing gangs started causing problems in some parts of Tomen’s territory.

You had voiced out to Mutō about your concerns for his health because you can see how tired he’s been but it caused raised voices and tears in your eyes when he dismissed you.

“I care so much about you, ‘Hiro. I don’t want to watch you drown yourself with work 24/7,” you sniffled as you wiped away your tears, “The girls miss you… I miss you…”

You then walked away from him, leaving him in his study room with guilt building in his chest. He loves you and your twin girls with all he’s got. He didn’t mean to snap at you, he’s actually not one to snap at anyone because he’s always been so calm and collected. Work has been beating his ass to the rim and he was blinded by that. He thought that working overtime would eventually bring him back home to be with his family but it only pushed you away.

So he logged off of his computer and left the sea of papers behind to join you in bed but…you’re already sleeping. Tear stains on your cheeks with your nose red as a tomato shows that’s you had cried yourself to sleep. Mutō sighed in guilt once again before leaning down and kissing your forehead with a mumbled, “I’m sorry, my darling.”

The next morning you were greeted with the sun creeping through your curtains. You blinked away the brightness letting your eyes slowly adjust as your mind recapped about last night’s argument. Your lip quivered at the remembrance of your husband’s raised voice making you also sniffle in more sadness.

That was until you felt a warm arm wrap around your waist…

You gasp a bit as you snapped your head towards the familiar person holding you in his arms. You were met with brown and tired eyes with your widened ones because you couldn’t remember the last time you woke up with him in bed and in his arms.

“You’re…you’re home?” you questioned with a whisper.

Mutō hummed with his eyes closed and a nod before cleaning his throat. His sleepy voice you missed so much was music to your ears. “I called Mikey last night…,” he mumbled as he pulled you to face him completely, “…told him I needed time off for my girls…”

He then opened his tired eyes again with a soft smile as he cupped your cheek and caressed your skin with his thumb. “I apologize for raising my voice at you. I don’t like fighting with you, my darling. I’m sorry,” he whispered to you but in a way it was loud a clear.

You smiled and sighed happily as you nuzzled your cheek against his palm. “It’s okay…,” you whispered back, “It just hurt to see you overwork yourself, my love.”

Mutō nodded in understanding before taking your left hand and kissing the diamond rock on your ring finger. Something he does to show you how much he loves you and how devoted he is to you. “I see that now,” he smiled softly, “I’m yours till the end of the week.”

You laughed happily as you leaned up to give him a kiss. Your hands on his naked chest with his cupping both sides of your face made your knees weak. The kiss was slow and intimate as always. He never rushed because he loved how soft your lips were. “The girls are gonna be happy seeing their papa home,” you said breathlessly as you both pulled away from the kiss.

Muto laughed as he gently nudged his nose against yours as a silent way to ask for another kiss. “I know but I want some time with my wife…just for a bit, yeah?”

You giggled before getting pulled into another kiss. You hummed happily as you ran your fingers through his hair pulling him on top of you. The tug on his roots made him groan into the kiss but before he could even engulf you into his arms, two pairs of feet were heard outside your door.

Then lo-and-behold, Muto was cockblocked by his own kids. They barged through the door with happy squeals and faces seeing their papa home. “Papa!!” they squealed together as they jumped into bed with you two.

“There are my girls!” he laughed as he hesitantly rolled off of you. You laughed a bit knowing that he wanted more time with you in the morning but you’d treat him later when the girls are asleep.

“Are you going to our music practice today?” one of the girls asked with puppy eyes that are in fact also his eyes.

Muto smiled at both his daughters before giving each of them a kiss on their forehead. “Yes I am, and…I’ll be home all week so we can have our tea parties together like we used too,” he said making the girls gasped in unison.

Long story short, he was dragged out of bed immediately after he said that. Leaving you with a kiss and a promise that he will spend the rest of the week with you too.

If your daughters don’t cockblock him again…

●∘◦❀◦∘● ●∘◦❀◦∘● ●∘◦❀◦∘● ●∘◦❀◦∘●

Ryuguji Ken (Draken)

The night prior was rough and so has been the last few weeks. Draken was drowning in broken, damaged, and anything of the sort of motorcycles.

You love that he’s getting customers left and right but it’s taking a toll on his sleep schedule or whatever was left of it. But when you showed up to the shop and saw him still working on the same broken bike, you had to say something. You weren’t trying to scold him it was more in a comforting way.

And when you did say something he blew up on you. You caressed your growing baby bump to comfort yourself as your husband snapped at you. You knew it was the stress talking but his tone of voice was something he never let out on you.

“I don’t fuckin’ understand what your talk in’ about! I’m tryna get this shit done!” he shouted.

“Ken…,” you began to cry to him which shut him up immediately, “I just want you home…a-and to take care of yourself, that’s all.”

Then you left him alone in the shop. You drove back home as you tears kept spilling all while he’s standing in his pool of guilt on his feet. He didn’t realize how absent he’s been especially at such a important time with you guys getting ready to bring a baby into the world. He promised you, you weren’t going to be alone during your pregnancy and here he was. Not home with you.

He closed up shop as fast as he could so he can stop by the convenience story to get you flowers and your favorite take out spot that you’ve been craving since you got into your second trimester but now your nearing the end of it as he just realized. But when he came home it was silent and the lights were off.

You had gone to bed right after you got home. You were already tired just from the pregnancy but having a screaming match with your husband was the cherry on top to that. You had cried yourself to sleep was very much evident on your cheeks. Draken sighed with a soft smile as he caressed your cheek with his knuckles. “M’sorry, sweetheart,” he mumbled before kissing your cheek then going down to your plump stomach. “I’m sorry too, little man,” he kissed your stomach.

The next morning you were disturbed with a violent kick to your rib. You groaned in pain as you rolled onto your back as your little boy began to move around a bit trying to get comfy. He then kicked you again making you wince.

Just as you were about to rub the rib that was nearly kicked out of your body, another yet familiar hand beat you to it. “What’s going on, doll?” Draken asked in his sleepy voice as he moved his warm hand over your stomach.

You looked at him with wide eyes and didn’t say anything at first despite the tinge of pain you were feeling on your ribs as your baby boy kept moving around. “Why are you home?” you asked out of genuine curiosity because it’s been a while since you woke up with him by your side.

Draken locked his eyes with yours. Guilt was washing through his black irises as he intertwined his fingers with yours over your stomach. “Called the guys up last night to cover my shifts for the next week… I’m sorry for yellin’ at you when you were just lookin’ after me,” he said softly.

You smiled softly as you squeezed his hand as a silent way to tell him that you forgive him. He moved closer to you as he kissed your temple and wrapped his arm around you as you remained on your back. “You didn’t have to take a week off,” you said to him as you nudged your nose against his.

“Yes I did… Told you I was gonna be there for ya’ so you don’t feel like your going through this pregnancy alone but I broke that promise,” he mumbled as he played with your fingers with his, “M’sorry, doll.”

“It’s okay, honey,” you said before kissing him softly, “You’re here with me now but I just ask that you take care of yourself too, m’kay?” you said against his lips.

“Yes, ma’am,” he smiled before pulling your face with his warm and calloused hand towards his lips. “My sweet girl, I missed you,” he groaned against your lips as you began to run your fingers through his black hair. “Doin’ so well carrying our baby, yeah?”

Before you could answer he slipped his tongue into your mouth making the both of you moan happily into each other’s mouths. He rolled on top of you being cared of your growing stomach then pulled away from your soft lips to admire you from his position. “Fuck you’re so beautiful,” he smiled sweetly making you giggle, “Can’t wait to make another baby with you…”

Your eyes widened as you laughed a bit more. “Another?! I haven’t even pushed this baby out yet,” you laughed as you pointed at your stomach.

“So? I’ll just knock ya’ up again as soon as I can after you push this baby out,” he chuckled as he leaned down to your lips again. “We’re gonna go for a girl next time.”

Five weeks later, you pushed out a healthy and chunky baby boy, 9lbs; 3 oz with hair as black as his daddy’s. Ken looked at you with proud smile on his face as he held your newborn in his arms at your home. “Our little girl is next,” he winked at you.

Butterfly Effect | Michael Kinsella x Reader

Masterlist ; Chaos Theory (continuation)

Pairing: Michael Kinsella x Barista!Reader Coffee Shop AU

Summary: After spending years in prison, Michael Kinsella gets to be a free man again. He wants to be a better man for his daughter – no, he needs to be if he wants to see her again. For that, he needs to leave the man he was in the name of his family behind and look forward. Though as a Kinsella, leaving the bloodshed and crime in the past seems sheerly impossible. After all these years, he's not sure where to with himself, but he is more than sure that he wants to try. In search of something familiar, he walks the streets of the city that have become a stranger to him now. Michael, in desperate need of a hot drink and a shield around the world, decides to give the new café that has replaced his and Jimmy's old favorite coffee shop a shot. It's where he meets you, a kind-hearted barista who seems more than determined to make him smile with a simple coffee order, and you slowly but steadily start to unravel his guarded heart.

Or, five times you take the first step, and the one time Michael finally takes a step toward you.

Warnings: Angst, fluff, hurt/comfort, friends to lovers, mentions of canon-typical violence, eventual smut (additional warnings will be added before every chapter)

A/n: I considered long and hard if I should post this or the chapter first, but like this, I have some more time to edit. was planning to write it as a long One Shot, but then I looked at the word count of the first part and I decided this would be the best way to go. Each chapter is a One Shot, but they all connect and build on each other. I am on my Michael Kinsella shit. This is not too plot heavy, so you can read it even without having watched both seasons of the show (God knows I am guilty of not being through Season 2 yet either, so this will be loosely based on Season 1). But this is an AU, after all, and it's basically just me trying to give Mikey some much-needed comfort.

This is going to be a mini-series told in 7 parts!

Butterfly Pea Flower On Ice

Irish Coffee

Dirty Chai

Bittersweet Symphony

Gab, even worse for a combination of both angst and fluff.

Reincarnated Mikey in Turtles Forever crossover Au

*places a hand over my heart dramatically* Marie my God aren't we living the villain life with the angst possibilities!

This is why you're one of my favorite mutuals shsgsgsgsgshshsg-

Oh let me tell you fam, if Reincarnated Mikey was in a room full of other variants of himself, all of which he's lived their lives. It'd be a downward spiral kind of deal. Seeing so many different Mikey's, all in one room, all of which he knows how their stories end it's absolutely maddening for him. Because he's lived their lives, every single one of them. And he sees how they're naive to the futures that lay before them and it just kills him inside.

In a way Mikey can't help but wonder if it's some kind of sick, cruel joke that's being played on him. It's bad enough that he remembers these lives, that he still carries the memories, emotions and traumas of those lives. But to see them, the living proof that he's existed as one of these orange clad turtles at some point in his very, very long existence, it's like getting a batting ram straight to the face. It cements it, the evidence that the memories he remembers with each new cycle is real. And that the endings of each life were real as well. Before there was a chance that he was just losing his mind, a chance that all the drawings and notes he'd made for the very people standing in front of him weren't really connected to anything. But now that slim chance is gone, the illusion shattered in a heartbeat.

And he doesn't take it very well at all.

Mikey completely keeps his distance for a very, very long time. Refusing to hold a conversation with any of the turtles or rats cuz every time he looks at them it's something like-

"I know what happens to you at the end of the road. I know how you died in each and every life we've shared together, I've watched you all suffer and accumulate scars. Scars that tear you apart mentally, emotionally and physically. And I can't tell you about any of it, because the burden of holding such knowledge could ruin your lives."

Nasty thoughts of this degree as well as pure grief and mourning at knowing that he's basically seeing his brothers and father and friends happy and alive. Completely oblivious to their gruesome or bitter ends. And when he sees turtles like Future Rise Leo and Future Rise Mikey, it fills him with a sense of dread cuz that's a future variation of him. That sometime possibly in his current run he and his brothers could end up in these twos position and that honest to God terrifies him. And seeing Ronin Mikey and the Mutant Apocalypse boys??????

It's like rubbing salt into the wounds that he's carried for decades. He'd also feel a bit bitter at everything, cuz in a way what he's experiencing wasn't fair. It wasn't fair that he had to face the faces he'd personally known once and still loved with every fiber of his being, down to his very bones and veins. Hasn't he suffered enough? Hasn't he endured the burden that he carries well enough? What else did the universe want from him he'd already given it everything he could!

As for the others, as soon as they see this other Mikey it becomes painfully clear that he's different from the rest of them. That he holds this heavy atmosphere, that somehow he's older than this 14/15 year old teenager. And it's quite unsettling to say the least.

Eventually everyone would warm up somewhat and get along but there's always gonna be that invisible barrier between them and Reincarnated Mikey.

[obsidiancreates]

Okay so more elaboration on my Rise Separated AU (all fluff and goofs, no big angst here lads).

To recap: Leo was raised by April's family, Raph ended up still with Draxum and his sweetness turned Draxum into a Real Dad who doesn't wanna take over humans anymore, Donnie ended up with The Foot and got control of the whole clan by the time he was like 8, and Mikey ended up with Splinter who was given shelter by Todd so they both raised him.

Anyway, April found this little turtle one day (I think they got separated by Draxum trying to hunt down Splinter and he lost Leo and Donnie before fleeing to the woods and finding Todd) while out with her parents (she's like 2 years older, right? And let's say Leo's abut like, a year old by the time of the mutation, so she's about 3) and brings it home. Her parents don't realize it until she's got a box and is trying to feed Leo her graham crackers. A turtle seems like a safe enough pet, really, so they decide to keep it, even though it looks a little odd.

And they eventually realize "Oh this thing is. A toddler. This is a child." And instead of getting rid of him or anything they just like, r3aise him as April's brother. They decide "It must be some kind of skin condition. And a-a growth, around his back and chest. Yeah. That's it." And he basically lives his whole life thinking he's a normal human with some weird medical conditions. He straight-up goes to school and April just kicks anybody's ass who tries to say "Um. Why are you a turtle." Because as we all know, no human in Rise actually cares at all that mutants exist so even if they noticed it'd at most cause a little bullying.

Now as for Mikey, Mikey has known his whole life he has 3 brothers out there somewhere. Splinter, thanks to Todd, has a lot more resources and extra time to work through his traumas, but he still feels guilt and concern every day for the other turtles who he failed to save. Mikey decides one day, "Alright. I'm old enough now to go find my brothers, and help Pops to stop feeling bad about this!"

He's been raised in a damn Puppy Rescue in a tailer after all, by Todd and Splinter. He's sheltered, he's super peppy, he believes the power of lemonade and good food fix almost everything. He knows one brother got left with the guy who created all of them, and two were lost in New York City, one next to a shoe store and one by an apartment building. Easy-peasy!

He finds Raph first, I think. Draxum, as I said, is a lot more like Season 2 Draxum.

Basically he fully intended on raising Raph as a warrior, but child-rearing turned out to be a lot tougher than he expected. He couldn't leave his Gargoyles to do it because Raph bit them too often and nearly took their limbs off, and he couldn't hire someone else to do it because his experiments are so illegal that they'd turn him in for the pardon they'd get for it. SO he had to raise Raph himself, and- oh.

Oh, Raph is such a sweetie. Yeah, he bites a lot, and has tantrums, and does dumb stuff, and gets mad and screams. But he loves snuggling, and he loves playing with the other experiments when he sneaks into their enclosures. When Draxum has an experiment go wrong, or a setback in the rebuilding of his lab, Raph, who must always be strapped to his chest or else he'll be found somewhere he shouldn't be, always gives him a cubby-armed little hug. Basically Raph slowly melted Draxum's heart and Draxum's priorities slowly shifted to caring for this little turtle, until one day he realized he hadn't worked on his Eradicating Humanity plan in years and his little boy is all grown up now.

Obviously Raph also is trained in Mystic Combat with his tonfas. Draxum has always intended that, and followed through with it, but it became just a Fun Father-Son bonding thing more than. Like. Evil warrior training.

Draxum also kept Raph informed that he has brothers out there somewhere, but feels less concern about it. He's sure Lou Jitsu went into hiding with them, maybe raised them to be incredible warriors as well in case Draxum ever found him. So when Mikey shows up like "I'm your little brother!" Raph just immediately scoops him up and is like "ONE OF MY BROTHRS CAME BACK!"

Draxum tries to convince mikey to stay with them but Mikey is like "We've gotta find the other two! Besides, I love my Pops and my- uh, Todd. But Raph says you're way different than Pops remembers, so I promise I'll come back with Raph and give you a chance!"

And they both set off to find the other two.

They end up ninja-ing around for a few weeks until they finally catch sight of Leo (all the brothers have their same names but Raph, leo, and Donnie don't have the Full Names. April named Leo Leo because he "looks like a Leo" when she was like, 5, and Raph was actually named "Wrath" but couldn't pronounce his own name right so Draxum just ran with Raph, and Donnie's name is actually cchose by himself and designed specifically for the pun of "World Donnie-nation").

Leo is with April and a few other friends (despite his Obviously Turtle Nature he's actually pretty popular. Captain of the basketball team, class jokester, always willing to help people out with stuff, awesome parkouring skills, for sure the kind of kid who breaks into the teacher's desk and get everyone their confiscated stuff back) and they're all heading out for some late-night pizza. Raph and Mikey are SO CONFUSED because they've both been taught to stay hidden from humans their whole lives and here their brother is HANGING OUT WITH A WHOLE GROUP OF THEM!!!

So they wait and watch and follow Leo and April back to the apartment, and watch Leo get greeted by two human adult who it becomes obvious are his adoptive parents and this other human is his adoptive sister, and he and his sister to to their shared room (because this is New York, no way in hell the apartment has a room for both of them) and start to watch Jupiter Jim movies.

"Well, if she already knows about him," Raph says, "We might as well show her us. Since she'll be our sister basically."

"Sounds right to me!"

And anyway they knock on the window and April goes to open it with bat in hand and sees two OTHER turtle-people who are both smiling, one kinda shyly and one beaming with the power of the sun itself, and she goes "Uh, Leo? Did you happen to make some friends I didn't know about?"

The talk is so baffling to them because Leo is insisting he's a human with some weird medical conditions and they CANNOT convince him otherwise. He does however feel in his hear that they're telling the truth about being his brothers (mystic bond) and so he decides well. They must have the same conditions and just think they're turtles because whoever raised them didn't know any better. So he accepts them as family, as does April, and they all set out to find the final brother.

As soon as they step into the shoe store Splinter said the last one got left by Donnie's system goes off in a HUGE ALERT because he's got it set up to alert him to any weird mystic shenanigans. I should specify here that The Foot Clan under Donnie's rule isn't really focused much on Shredder, like The Flaming-Headed Gay Guys we know from the series raised him and Cassandra is his second-in-command but he's more focused on gather as much Mystic Knowledge as possible to create the perfect blend of Mystic and Tech possible and the whole Shredder thing is like. A backburner project. "Yeah yeah, we'll get to that soon, we've got plenty of time. But for right now, Casey I need you to put on this jetpack and tell me if this mystic-infused fuel makes it go for longer or if it just blows up."

Anyway he sees three other turtle-mutants surrounded by mystic energy and DOES A SPIT TAKE AND GETS OVER THERE RIGHT AWAY (using one of those portals that The Foot have, yes this means he helps Leo figure out Portalling later on). He pops out from the back and drags all of them, including April, to the backroom.

Mikey explains, Raph chimes in with some stuff, Leo doesn't believe a single word but does note that he and Donnie are the same age, hey twinsies! Donnie believes them (again, mystic bond) but is also like, "Well, this is cool, but I'm a bit busy running an ancient mystic ninja clan here and trying to bring them into not only the present but the future of technology that will be dictated by me, so. I don't know we can set up a visiting schedule I guess."

But Mikey convinces him to come out to the trailer jsut for a day and as soon as Donnie tastes Mikey's version of Todd's famous lemonade (the twist is he includes a little lime in it) he decides "Actually you guys can visit whenever and I'll give you all my contact info because THIS IS THE BEST DRINK I'VE EVER HAD!"

And yes, Donnie does realize upon meeting Splinter that he's The Last of the Hamato Clan and the owner of the head of Shredder. He just doesn't care. "Oh, cool, now I know where it is if I ever pick that project up again. Anyway back to teaching my Sudden Twin how to use that sword Raph gave him so he doesn't accidentally portal us all to the center of the earth someday."

Eventually Leo does accept that he's a Turtle but it's a long time after he's already accepted Mystic Powers and other mutants and stuff. Also he's way more behind on the ninja thing, yeah it's in his blood and he can parkour real good but the other three still need to teach him how to fight-fight and there's a lot of funny stuff that can happen there I think. He picks all of it up pretty quick, obviously, and in turn he introduces them to Skateboarding and Jupiter Jim. Donnie and Mikey already know about Pizza of course but Raph doesn't, Draxum didn't eat it, so they collectively introduce Raph to pizza and cheer when he loves it.

Splinter feels bittersweet about it all, wishing he could have seen these boys grow up together but glad they're a family now, and he likes this April girl who's apparently their sister now, too.

Donnie eventually introduces all of them, in passing, to Casey one day when they come visit him. She's both the second-in-command and by default Donnie's best friend, even though she wishes he'd focus on Shredder more than he does, and long story short she and April are besties now and while the others train Leo, Casey trains April, and thus Casey decides April is totally worthy of being Donnie's other best friend and invites her over for movie nights and stuff all the time.

[carmyboobear]

No but like that blurb about Carmy needing to be held? To be taken care of? PLEASE. Like I keep having this recurring headcannon inspired by your Carmy and roommate reader. Like Carm comes home from work early on roommate’s day off because he’s not feeling good (could be physically or mentally, but knowing Carmy, it’s probably both). He’s just going to hole himself up in his room so he’s not a bother. Except roommate is 100% like “Carm, do you want to be on the couch or bed? OJ or Apple juice? Tylenol or Advil? Soup now, or soup later?” And basically just plans their whole day off around making sure Carmy is the MOST taken care of. And he feels so shit and wants it so bad that he just lets it happen. If we want to go extra angst, roommate suggest watching Heartstopper as a mindless comfort fluff show but then by the end of binging season two Carmy is a blubbering wreck because he’s bi and on the ace spectrum (Carmy has such demisexual vibes, convince me otherwise) and he’s never really told anyone or even fully acknowledged it and he’s been so alone and disconnected from himself and the world for so long and the floodgates just OPEN and roommate just holds him and encourages him to let it all out… his childhood, the neglect, the abuse from New York, losing Mikey…. It just all comes out and he lets himself be held through it all. They ground him and keep him from drowning in the shit he’s suppressed since forever. And there’s no going back after that. Carmy is like a fucking octopus whenever they’re around roommate after, and they both love it and that’s just how it is.

WEHHHH okay first of all i'm so happy to hear that you could b thinking of this in my roommate au!! that brings me a lot of joy :)

anyway YEAH this is a great time for me to mention that bc i'm queer as hell any character I get obsessed with is automatically queer in someway. so yeah carmy is bi as hell and he TOTALLY reads as demisexual, i love that so much!! i've never seen heartstopper but i think i should (esp since it may destroy me it seems)

OUGHHH him learning to learn on his roomie and not isolate himself!! i love it!! to shamelessly plug ch 4 of the roomie fic because... well... it may or may not be very related to what this ask is about... how did you know i was gonna write about this!!!!!

i'm a sucker for hurt characters learning how to love and trust again and learn the joy of being vulnerable around others... OUGHHHH CARMY ONCE I GET MY HANDS ON YOU

[prpfs]

Heya! Your resident catboy here (he/she) 🐈‍⬛✨

I’m currently in search of (preferably) 25+ rp partners for the Tokyo Revengers fandom! (:

I rp exclusively on Discord, and usually tend toward semi-lit to lit replies. I’m not interested in OC rps, only CCxCC please. And I only do m/m pairings. I’m happy to switch roles, and either top or bottom as long as we keep things fair.

That being said, I’m looking for both good plot, as well as nsfw content. I love angst, drama, fluff, and hurt/comfort. Smut isn’t very fun without a good story for me. But more specifically, I’d like a partner who’s adventurous and open-minded.

I’d like to explore unusual dynamics, omegaverse, nekos, unique AUs, maybe some rare pairs, and definitely polyamory. With a big focus on the gangs, and inherent violence involved. I also sometimes write trans masc or intersex characters because I’m comfortable with them, and I’d be happy to rp opposite yours as well.

I’m open to most ‘problematic’ content. Incest, dubcon, cnc, mild 🍪, bondage, and some other kinks. But we will discuss, and respect each other’s boundaries of course.

If you’re not into those, I’m still happy to discuss options for rp! As long as they include interesting story, and you aren’t judgmental of my ideas, or averse to discussing them.

Some of my fave characters to play include: Draken, Kokonoi, Izana, Kazutora, and Wakasa. But I’m happy to rp pretty much any character.

I would ✨really✨ love someone to play Mikey for me. Dominant Mikey, preferably. And I’m more than willing to rp him in return, I have a knack for overbearing characters.

This is not a requirement whatsoever, but I do have one, very specific head-cannon that I’ve been itching for. Mikey x Izana, with bottom Izana, some cnc, and dom Mikey. I love them together so much. If you help me write it I’ll probably cry from joy lol 💫

Anyway, I enjoy getting to know my rp partners and sending memes, art, and dumb ideas back and forth OOC, but I’m also respectful of the need for privacy and anonymity. I usually reply when I have time, there’s never any pressure for fast replies—take your time.

Please like this post if you’re interested, and I’ll take that as an ok to dm you. 💚

{Pls note: I will not interact with ageless blogs}

give a like and anon will get back to you

[angelmichelangelo]

There’s the sound of furious thumbs jabbing against buttons. It’s been a while since Mikey’s commentary on their game had died down, instead conserving his energy to fully focus now that the title of Ultimate Champion of Mario Kart was so close to being his. Leo watches on with delight, back pressed up against the bottom of the couch, it allows Donnie to swing his legs over his shoulders, nudging him with the heel of his foot as he too engrossed himself in spectating over his brother’s battle to the end, all while Donnie practices little braids dotted around his hair without care. “No way. No, no, no, no.” Mikey’s gone from being cross legged on the floor to fully standing now, earning a series of complaints from both Leo and Donnie who shove him out of the way so they can see. Their TV screen is only small, but all focus in the room has gravitated towards it for this moment. Raph’s killing it. And he knows he is. There’s a wicked grin creeping across his face. He’s got a red shell in his arsonary. Oh ho. Leo chuckles to himself as he watches Raph close the gap between them, hot on Mikey’s poor, unsuspecting tail. It’s all over now. Raph launches, just as they both come into view of the finish line. It’s cruel. Unlawful, one might argue, but it doesn’t matter now. The petty crime sends Mikey’s into a spin and Raph shoots past him, bumping up to second, and then first after he knocks Rosalina off thee track and onto the green. 

“Ah ha! Yes!” Raph roars, jumping to his feet. Mikey’s still gawping at the TV screen, clutching the controllers like it’s the only thing gravitating him to the earth. “I win!” Raph cheers, circling his younger brother, jutting his leg out to shove his dirtied socked foot in his face right under his nose, Mikey doesn’t even have the energy to bat them away properly, instead choosing to mournfully lilt from side to side. “You lose! You lose, ha ha!”Donnie chortles. Leo goes to stand but Mikey is quicker. And because Mikey is ten still as opposed to Raph’s thirteen, he takes it all very personally. “That’s not fair!” He cries, his face screwing up with anger. Raph just smirks. “Life ain’t fair. Suck it.” Mikey doesn’t take very kindly to that, his face going a shade darker and oh boy, Leo knows what’s coming next. He lets out a guttural growl, like a warning sign and then comes the floods of tears. It doesn’t stop there, however, the smaller boy barreling towards his brother, he uses his smaller stature to his advantage, cannonballing right into his middle it seems to knock all the wind out of Raph at once. The controllers are on the floor, discarded and disgraced, Donnie’s hauling himself up to grab at them before they get broken whilst Leo is getting up to separate his brothers. Mikey’s got Raph’s hoodie strings in a tight clasp, as if some attempt to choke him out, whereas Raph’s got a fistful of Mikey’s twist outs in his, which okay, too far, Leo thinks bitterly, they saved up a lot of money to get his hair done and he wasn’t having his baby brother walking around with a bald spot over a stupid game of Mario Kart.

He wedges himself between each brother prying them apart, he’s able to separate them, barely as they continue to go at each other. “Alright, alright!” Leo calls out over their squabbling, holding them both at arms length. “Quit it.” Mikey, who’s still got a face full of fresh tears and something murderous written across his face hiccups a sob. “Leo!” He whines. He’s pulling out all the stops on this one. “Leo, tell Raph to stop being so mean! Tell him!” Raph scoffs. In fact, despite the beat down he got, he seems to be enjoying all of this quite a lot, Possibly more than the video game. “Mike, can it. Raph was just messing. It’s called not being such a sore loser.” Donnie snorts a laugh. “Ha. Loser.” Mikey wails, all dramatics, Leo gives him the smallest of shoves to tell him to knock it off. Mikey does exactly that when he realizes he’s getting nowhere. “If you can’t play properly then you won’t play at all.” He’s genuinely super appreciative that April’s mom got them the game for Hanukkah but… yeah. This was going to be a problem. For most of their childhood they only had Monopoly and Snakes and Ladders and even those games tended to get heated. “No, I’ll be good,” Mikey is quick to change his tune, wrapping his arms around the length of Leo’s. “Sorry.” He says in a rush. “Sorry Raph.” Raph just rolls his eyes. “You fight like you play.” There’s a beat and Leo knows exactly what’s coming. “Like shit.” That sets Mikey off again, growling and sobbing, trying to somehow break through Leo to get to Raph. Donnie is uninterested, picking up the controller, he’s in his own little world as he studies each of the customisation options on the Donkey Kong rig.

“Who designed the physics for a go kart with barrel wheels? Just ridiculous.” Is what Leo hears him mutter under his breath rather incredulously. Leo struggles against Mikey who’s clawing and crying still. Raph’s smirk is plastered boldly across his face. “You had to set him off, didn’t you?” Leo says with a deadpan expression. Raph shrugs. “What? I was bored of beating everyone’s ass at that game. Gotta find some fun ‘round here.” Leo sighs. How was it that all his siblings ended up such devil children? And that he was solely responsible for said devil children?

“You are… really something else, aren’t you?” Leo says in disbelief. Mikey’s gone limp mode, now laying on the floor, rolling around like he’s been shot. God, ten year olds are the worst sometimes, he thinks. Raph grins, sweeping his braids out of his eyes, there’s no shame to his voice when he responds happily, “I know.”
